About this app

At Google Nest, we make products that are beautiful, helpful and easy to use. The Nest app is no exception.

Control your Nest thermostat, arm and disarm your Nest Secure alarm system, see your home with Nest Cam, and get an alert if Nest Protect goes off – all in one place. And receive notifications on your Android phone or tablet.

Nest uses sensors, algorithms, and the location of your phone to do the right thing automatically, turning off the heat and turning on the camera when you leave. Forget to set the alarm? It will notice, and send you a Remind Me alert.

Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E

Thermostats that program themselves to help you save energy.

- Change the temperature from the subway or the sofa using your phone.
- See how much energy you used, and why.
- View and edit your schedule.
- Get extreme temperature alerts before your home gets too cold.

Nest Secure alarm system

- Arm and disarm your home remotely from the app.
- Receive a Remind Me alert if you leave home and forget to set the alarm.
- Receive a security alert on your phone telling you what triggered the alarm – a door or window opening, or someone entering a room.

Nest Protect

The smoke and carbon monoxide alarm that thinks, speaks, and alerts your phone.

- See the status of your batteries, sensors, and Wi-Fi connection.
- Run a Safety Checkup to test all your alarms at once. (Nest Protect 2nd gen only.)

The security cameras that let you see your home on your phone, inside and out.

- See what you missed with snapshots of the last three hours.
- Check in 24/7 with crisp 1080p HD video (Nest Cam and Dropcam Pro only).
- Get person alerts (or familiar face alerts with Nest Cam IQ) and up to 30 days of video history when you subscribe to Nest Aware. (Subscription service sold separately.)

It's okay, not great. All the learning mode and stuff is nonsense and it doesn't work. The interface is annoying to use. You want the heater to turn on every morning of the week? You have to make 7 changes to the settings. In months, my thermostat has never automatically learned. It keeps a history of your usage but only ten days back. No way to check how it's doing compared to last year, for example. The device itself is not ugly and the twisting interface is nice.

I've been using the Nest app for a while now, and while it does allow me to view the temperatures on my two Nest devices, that's about all it does well. Every time I try to adjust the temperatures within the app, the changes don't save. It's frustrating, as I'm forced to manually adjust the settings on the devices themselves instead of being able to do it remotely via the app. For an app that’s supposed to offer convenience, this has been a big letdown.

Very frustrating to work with. My huge complaints are that it becomes very finicky to reconnect if you get a new router before wiping it... And the scheduled temp times. It's so frustrating to sit there and keep poking the chart to get the temperature you want at the time you want, to me that is a very poor UI. This app could be so much better if it just had a scroll-down feature to pick the day, time and temp.
